Ms. Hui’s detention has forced a rural Missouri county to face the fallout of President Trump’s immigration crackdown, which was supported in theory by many residents in this Trump-loving corner of an increasingly red America.
Many are now asking how you can support Carol and also Mr. Trump.
“I voted for Donald Trump, and so did practically everyone here,” said Vanessa Cowart, a friend of Ms. Hui from church. “But no one voted to deport moms. We were all under the impression we were just getting rid of the gangs, the people who came here in droves.”
She paused. “This is Carol.”
Sorry Vanessa:
Those signs didn’t say “Deport the Gangs!” or “Deport the Criminals!” They said “Mass Deportation Now” and that’s what we are getting.
Here’s what Trump himself said about it. Didn’t they hear his vile spew?
“I’ll tell you what’s going to be horrible, when we take a wonderful young woman who’s with a criminal. And they show the woman, and she could stay by the law, but they show the woman being taken out,” he said. “Your cameras are focused on her as she’s crying as she’s being taken out of our country. And then the public turns against us. But we have to do our job.”
And frankly, they are getting what they wanted, a purge of foreigners from our country. There was no emergency. It was completely fabricated so that Trump could spew his hate and thrill these idiots into voting for him again. Some may be expressing alarm that the administration is deporting children and families and long-time residents who are pillars of their communities. But that’s what “mass deportation” is.
This is their fault.
*And yes, I know that it’s best to try to bring these fools to the light rather than condemn them since they are obviously not happy with what their decision to vote for what that monster has wrought. But between you and me on this little site, I think we can be honest about it. They did this and if they do have a conscience I hope it bothers them until the day they die. It was all out there for them to see.
